Suggestions / Re: Islands affecting loadfactor

« on: January 08, 2012, 07:45:21 am »

I saw a great diagram in uni last year that showed the number of air passenger journeys by country. The UK and Ireland were extremely high on that list vs places like France or Germany. So a factor for countries as islands could be based off population vs airport pax. For small islands a manual tag could be flagged for a bigger boost in traffic.

Come to think of it, for small islands there could be a pax bonus for up to 100 miles as most people only travel to and from the main access points to the islands which are usually close by.

Game Strategy / Re: One route: three different aircraft, eight frequencies a day, all at €1.

« on: January 06, 2012, 06:30:19 pm »

This is not a violation of the rule mentioned above, as there are no .5 frequencies here. There are two 3.5 routes, but still not more than two .5 routes.

Just a note when I put n.5 it was supposed to be any number (n) followed by .5 be that 3.5 or 0.5. I used have a star instead of n but thought n would be easier to recognise internationally provided people stayed awake during maths in school.

Fair suggestion. I will look at adding it next week along with a mountain of other AM work!

Why would they not be deleted outright right away?  It seems to me that being "scrapped" means they are literally torn apart for their raw materials and parts, so they no longer exist as complete aircraft anyway.

The idea is that they are sent to an aircraft broker who can then sell them to smaller airlines at very cheap rates. If nobody wants them the broker can finally have them removed.

We base in-game aircraft on entry into service date. So the 787 should be added, the current flying version that is. Will the A350 be in service this year or is it 2013?

We would also be missing the Sukohi regional jet, but nobody seems to have picked up on that yet.

How about making a dummy airline that doesn't appear in the aircraft rankings? Just like official brokers don't appear in rankings. That way they are no empty spaces.

If you scrap an aircraft, what happens to it?

Or it could check to see if I am in the world first befire sending them to me.

If I scrap a plane it is simply deleted.

Basically when scrapping was setup we built in that where there are no brokers in a world my account would get most of the scraps instead. There are always some aircraft that are deleted anyway. It does not as you can see check if I am in a world before sending them to my account. Thats why they appear with no airline name attached.

If you notice it it is also the flight number that is on 2 lines. That is causing the space to get used up. I could try and let it stretch automatically with the browser though.

It is quite fun, but Traffic Giant was better in terms of framerate, congestion and routing. Although the patches has made CiM much better now.

The frame rate is horrific on my laptop but I only got it for college/AM work at the time so I don't mind too much. I got it through Steam so I assume its got the latest patches.

I don't think I will use money on it then. I am most attracted by Cities in Motion, but I bought that game a while ago.

Thanks for the advice!

I wont admit how long it took me to make money in the first scenario in cities in motion but it was a lot of hard work. Interesting game though. I always loved transport games.

It may have been under two different price formulas. I cannot say for certain though.

I have the same problem. When I want to check all routes, it won't allow me. But if I do like you said, select the hub by the drop-down menu, it works perfectly.

Maybe the system can't handle the multiple hubs?

I am guessing its because we split the bases up and it can't handle that. I remember testing this before and when it worked I forgot about it again.

On the view routes page > show routes by hub (if defaulted in a different way) > and then try to select all routes within a hub. it won't tick any boxes as it should

When you select the hub on its own from the dropdown menu does it work there?

Does it only happen with multiple bases then or perhaps be browser related?
